The blinking reverse light is too high of an idle. Topping out at 20km could mean you need your clutches serviced.

With too high of an idle,the machine will not usually not let it shift into gear or it will engage the ignition limiter. Lower the idle speed (turn choke off or fix cables/adjust)

I'm pretty sure that's what I wrote.

Sounds like they put the jets in wrong spot....Main jet (140 ish) and Slow jet (30-40 ish)
not enough fuel after 1/4 throttle
